Liked: A near perfect location for the Moto GP Grand Prix taking place at Silverstone the next day. Everything from the setting, to the friendly yet efficient welcome through to the accommodation, evening food and drink, breakfast and check-out the next day was flawless. I say 'near-perfect' - only because it was about 40 mins away from Silverstone. However, this was not an issue at all and was due in part to my booking only last November when this was one of the few properties left available in the surrounding area for that weekend.That aside, everything was excellent. Both our rooms in the separate accommodation block (a converted barn?) were spacious, comfortable, clean and had all the facilities you would need.The bar area is full of character and village charm and served a varied selection of local / more well-known ales, lagers and decent wines. Food in the dining area in the evening was of good gastro-pub quality and very reasonably priced.Breakfast the next morning was one of the best full English's we've had in a while - all freshly cooked, very tasty and plentiful. All staff were very welcoming, friendly and efficient - everything went very smoothly. I would have no hesitation in booking here again if I was in the area, and would highly recommend it as a great value-for-money pit-stop.

Amazing pub with food and...

Liked: Fabulous first floor room with views over the fields. Airy and lots of light. Large comfortable bed. Great shower with plenty of hot water and great pressure. Amazing evening meal, we both had something for the specials board ( I had cod, OH had pulled pork burger) My cod was phenomenal, cooked to perfection and the mousse and sauce was equally delicious. Breakfast to be ordered the night before by 8pm, served at a time of your choice. Breakfast was just a good. Plenty of choices of food. Stayed here en route so didn’t explore the area at all. Plenty of parking outside the b&b in the pub car park.

Wonderful room and food at...

Liked: A most comfortable room at a very pleasant village pub. Everything was spotless and modern in the room. The cooked breakfast was well prepared and substantial and kept us going all day. We also had our evening meal at the pub which was top quality and not overpriced and the service was very good. Definitely well above the average accommodation and we would stay here again if in the area.
